ISLAM...
ANOTHER GOD? ANOTHER GOSPEL?
by Ed Decker
A while back I was speaking at a State University in Utah and made the statement that Mormonism was "the American Islam." I drew a comparison between the claims of Mohammed and Joseph Smith, the Koran and the Book of Mormon. During the Question and Answer time, I faced a number of very agitated Muslims. In fact, the Muslim interaction all but overshadowed the dialogue on Mormonism. The next day, I met with two Muslim leaders and began a series of contacts that forced me to take a deep look at its history, its tenets of belief and its comparisons to orthodox Christianity.

Today, there are over 7,000,000 Muslims in the United States alone. That's more than all the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Christian Scientists combined. An extremely militant proselytizing program is under way in many major cities and in every State university I have visited. The Muslims are going to make the Mormon missionary effort look pale in comparison. As orthodox Christians, we are going to have to be ready to deal with what I believe may be the most aggressive attack on Christianity in its history.

Let's take a look at the faith of Mohammed. When he was born in Mecca in 570 AD, the black Kaaba Stone was the religious center of all Arabia. In Mohammed's day, 365 idols were worshipped there, standing in the great courtyard. One of those deities was called Allah and was the god of the Quarish tribe, of which Mohammed was a member. When the Quarish tribe took control of Mecca, all the idols except Allah, the idol of their tribe, were destroyed.

The Koran Tells us that Mohammed drove the other idols away; his god was now the only god and he was its messenger. But he kept the Kaaba as a holy, sacred place and confirmed that the black stone had the power to take away man's sins. He obligated every believer to make a pilgrimage to the stone at least once in his lifetime. (Sura 22:26-37)


THE SIX BELIEFS OF ISLAM
God: There is one true God, named Allah.

Angels: They are the servants of God, through whom he reveals his will. The greatest angel is Gabriel who appeared to Mohammed. Everyone has two "recording angels": one to record their good deeds, the other to record their bad deeds.

The Prophets: Allah has spoken through many prophets, but the final and greatest of these is Mohammed. Other prophets include Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus.

The Holy Books: The Koran or Quran is the holiest book of Islam, believed to be Allah's final revelation to man and it supersedes all previous revelations, including the Bible. It contains Allah's word as passed on orally to Mohammed by Gabriel. It contains 114 chapters or Suras. Muslims also recognize the Law of Moses, the Psalms and the gospels but consider them to be badly corrupted.

The Day of Judgment: A terrible day on which each person's good and bad deeds will be balanced to determine his fate.

The Decree of God: Allah ordains the fate of all. Muslims are fatalistic. "If Allah, wills it", is the comment of a devout Muslim on almost every situation or decision he faces.


THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM
Affirmation: "There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger" which is recited constantly by devout Muslims.

The Fast: Faithful Muslims fast from dawn to dusk every day during the ninth month of the Islamic calender, Ramadan, which is sacred.

Almsgiving: A worthy Muslim must give 2.5% of his income to the poor.

Prayer: Muslims are required to pray five times a day, kneeling and facing Mecca.

The Pilgrimage: Muslims are expected to journey to Mecca at least once in their lifetime.


IS ISLAM ANOTHER GOSPEL?
Islam teaches that God is so far above man in every way that he is virtually unknowable. He will send individuals to Paradise or Hell as he chooses.

Islam teaches that Jesus was a messenger of God, not the son of God. Muslims deny the He is Almighty God come in the flesh. (John 1:1-14, I John 4:1,2). They deny that He is divine. (Col 2:9) They deny that He died on the Cross for our sins (Most believe the Judas died in his place). They deny that He rose from the dead. (Matt 26: 28, John 19:20) They deny that He is the final, conclusive revelation of God. (Heb. 1: 1-2)


IS ALLAH ANOTHER GOD?
Is this stone idol the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Just because Mohammed said so doesn't make it so! Allah chose Hagar and her son, Ishmael for his covenant. The God of the Bible chose Abraham's other son, Isaac, as heir to His covenant. (Gen 21: 12, 22:2-18)

Allah is an impersonal being, impossible to approach or comprehend. The Bible's God befriends men like Abraham (Is. 41:8) and talks with them (Gen 18:23ff)! He loved us so much He sent His only begotten Son to die for us! (John 3:16)

Allah is a god of fear and terrorism that commands destruction upon those who refuse to convert to Islam. The Bible's God delights to show His boundless mercy. His gospel is the "Good News" of peace and forgiveness.

Allah requires total obedience to Islam and weighs the works of people. Allah and the Koran relegate Jesus to just the last prophet before Mohammed, below his authority. Jesus was not the Way, and could only point the way to Mohammed. The Bible's God can only be reached through Jesus Christ and trust in Him is the only way to Heaven. (John 14:6).

Allah required the works of Mohammed to complete his words of judgment to man. The God Of The Bible sent His son who did the finished work of grace for man. (John 19:30)

In the light of Allah's actual origin and his radical difference from the God of the Bible, we must conclude that Allah is not God. Nor is the name, Allah, a generic MidEast name for God, as even many Christians think. Allah is the name of a false god who can not save anyone from anything. Rather, through his false prophet, Mohammed, he continues to lead hundreds of millions into eternal darkness.

"And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible." -Isaiah 13:11

In Islam, committing suicide means eternal hell. (m*hammed also had suicide temptations! shws what kind of spirit is in him)



M*hammed married his adopted son's stunning wife. (quran 33:37)


Al-'Azl, (العزل) also known as coitus interruptus, is the practice of having sexual intercourse with a woman but withdrawing the penis before ejaculation. Apparently al-'Azl with female captives and slaves was a pretty important topic for Muhammad and his companions as is evidenced by the abundance of Hadith material on the subject.
http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Al-'Azl


The crescent/moon sign on top of mosques explain everything!
-mecca was a place where pagans worshipped moon god

- then muhammed changed qiblah frm jerusalem(holy site) to mecca(evil place)
-moon sign on top of mosques
- the religious dates are set based on moon(ramadaan,muharram etc) shows that moon is deciding all these!


If Muhammad was illiterate, why does Sahih Hadith such as Bukhari say he used to write letters?
-There are accounts of peace treaties signed by Muhammad, his attempt to write the name of his successor while on his deathbed, and the fact that he served for many years as a trading merchant who would have certainly known reading, writing, and arithmetic as he took his trade to Damascus and other cities. Also, the Quran is written in 7th century Arabic, the same language spoken by the very literate Bedouins who raised him. Even Muslims must question this claim of illiteracy when even Allah referred to him as "the one who taught by the pen".


Why does surah 23:5 allow men to have pre-marital sex with slave girls?


Why couldn't Muhammad convince his own town Mecca and had to convince people from another town, Medina? Didn't Meccans know him better?
Since many of Muhammad's own family members didn't believe him, why should we?
Many of the people who were close to Muhammad didn't believe him like Abu Sufyan and Abu Taleb. Why is that?


Why is the Qur'an full of verses that say "Muhammad is not crazy"? Why did so many people accuse Muhammad of being crazy?
(when evil spirit is in a man, he will behave crazy)


This article discusses the DMS (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) of mental disorders and cites sahih hadiths to prove that Muhammad was a pedophile according to clinical definitions.

Why did Allah send down a revelation which allows Muhammad to have as many wives as he wants, while earlier allowing only 4 wives for each Muslim?


Why did Allah not protect Christianity from corruption? Couldn't he get it right the first time?
(it says in quran allah is protecting torah and injeel, then how will Bible become corrupt?)


The Qur'an claims the New Testament is a book given to Jesus (Qur'an 5.46). However, in reality, it consists of books of Jesus' followers. Why make such a obvious flaw?
(shows the poor knowledge of muhammed)


Why did Allah wait over 500 years to tell Christians Jesus didn't really die on the cross?


The Qur'an says Allah made a man very similar to Jesus and he was the one who was crucified, doesn't that mean Allah has deceived all the Christians? What can we expect from Christians when Allah has fooled them by creating someone similar to Jesus?
(this shows the poor knowledge of muhammed)


What's with all the dinosaur remains in the soil? Why not a single mention in the Qur'an or hadith?(it is mentioned in Bible abt dinosaurs)


Why do you claim the Bible is corrupt but at the same time proclaim Muhammad is mentioned in the Bible?


According to Muslims, Jesus never said he was the son of God. So why is "son of Mary" explicitly added whenever anyone addresses him?
(this explains the real intension of the one who worte quran)


apart from Judging others, how can one punish (kill someone who doesnt accpt islam) others?? thats supposed to be done by GOD himself!!!
i thot allah has kept hell fr ppl so tht once they r judged they r thrown into it!!
if hell is there, why r humans punishing on earth????



If all non-believers go to hell, then everyone who died before the religion was revealed would end up in Hell. Why were they never given a chance????????????
simple when muhammed chnged the details of Jesus from Bible into quran, he forgot one thing!
in Bible it says Jesus after crusification, his body was kept in a cave fr 3 days! according to Bible in tht 3 days Jesus went and preached the gospel to the dead.
But when Jesus crusification got chnged, Quran doesnt have answer for this!!!

blessed by this!. I ONCE READ YOUR BOOK.
